Sorry for the early 80's rap reference there, I couldn't resist. Anyway... I saw this at the HardOCP, Tech Report, and Electic Tech, so I figured I'd better post it! 
[PR]Get the full scoop right here. What do you think, could AMD be hammering another nail into *ntel's coffin? (Hehehe... I crack myself up)
SAN JOSE, CA -- October 15, 2001 -- At Microprocessor Forum today, AMD (NYSE: AMD) disclosed details of the company’s next-generation PC microprocessor architecture codenamed “Hammer.” AMD developed “Hammer” architecture as a foundation for its future portfolio of processors.
“The ‘Hammer’ architecture is designed to enable AMD to expand our presence from the dual processing market to the 4- and 8-way enterprise market, and provide top-to-bottom solutions for the performance desktop and notebook markets,” said Fred Weber, vice president and chief technical officer of AMD’s Computation Products Group. “AMD’s approach to 64-bit computing puts the IT customer first. It enables IT managers to take advantage of existing support, allowing them to upgrade to 64-bit software at the appropriate time and preserve their investment in 32-bit applications.”

4-way hammer... sounds good to me! But my buddy Serverworks makes a pretty sweet chipset, might have to go Xeon!  |

That's not '80s music. Hammer was early '90s. Believe me - I just 'refound' the collection about two weeks ago - casette tapes - eww. I can't believe I used to listen to that. I think I'm going to go find my Depeche Mode and New Order CDs now. |

You think you feel old. I listened to Hendrix, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, etc. on 45's. My daughter doesn't even know what a 45 IS! I remember thinking of him (MC Hammer) as teenage crap, and now you tell me that was over a dozen years ago???? Oh well, time to start checkin' out the retirement homes! rokitman If it's worth doing, It's worth OVERdoing |

Hell... I forgot what we were talking about! I have a Mobile Age Accelerator (TM) myself. We just ditched the training wheels and lost the second tooth over the weekend.
